EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite craftsmanship of an ancient Egyptian sculpture. The image features the head from a Shabti, specifically belonging to Akhensten, dating back to approximately 1352-1336 BC during the New Kingdom period. Carved out of limestone, this remarkable piece measures 7.9x7.3x5.7 cm and is currently housed in the North Carolina Museum of Art in Raleigh, USA. The intricate details on this royal face are truly mesmerizing; every curve and line reflects the skillful hands that brought it to life thousands of years ago. As one gazes upon this artwork, they can't help but be transported back in time to when pharaohs ruled over ancient Egypt. The Shabti was an essential funerary figurine believed to serve its owner in the afterlife by performing manual labor tasks on their behalf. This particular Shabti belonged to Akhensten, adding another layer of historical significance and intrigue. Thanks to Bridgeman Images' impeccable photography skills, we are able to appreciate every nuance captured within this photograph print - from the regal nemes headdress adorning Akhensten's head down to his serene facial expression. As we marvel at this masterpiece from afar, let us take a moment to acknowledge its journey through time and space before finding its rightful place at the North Carolina Museum of Art as a gift from the James G. Hanes Memorial Fund.
